Total Solar Eclipse April 8, 2024
Dear Queen’s Community,
As you may know, a total solar eclipse will take place the afternoon of Monday, April 8th. This is a once-in-a-lifetime event for all of us lucky enough to be in Kingston as the city is in its direct path and will provide the perfect opportunity to fully view the eclipse. The last fully visible eclipse at this geographical location occurred in 1349 and the next one will not take place until 2399. The full effect (totality) of the eclipse will last for over three minutes between 3:22 and 3:25 pm.
